European Data Protection Supervisor

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) is an independent authority responsible for ensuring that European Union institutions and agencies respect privacy rights and protect personal data. Established to uphold data protection laws, the EDPS monitors compliance, advises on policies, and engages with citizens on data privacy issues. Its role is crucial in promoting transparency and trust in how personal information is handled, particularly in an increasingly digital world where data protection is vital for individuals' rights and freedoms.
